Delhi, India -- Day 7
We land at Indira Gandhi Airport and walk out into a wave of heat...It's 42 degrees gang, make sure you are hydrated...Traditional Indian music on unfamiliar instruments sets the stage for the first runner of the day at the Qutab Minar tower...very enthusiastic crowds...Bollywood actors (Aamir Khan and the beautiful Aishwarya Rai) take the flame...Red Fort, Humayn's Tomb...But for my money seeing the caravan rolling down the majestic RajPath from the capitol building towards the India Gate with huge crowds running along side the relay to keep up with the vehicles was the highlight of the day...and there's Mikey at the front pumping his fists...and us crowded up on the vehicles dancing and waving to the crowds...and bedecked elephants in the fields ahead...We're someplace very different again...
